Your brain wasn’t being rude — it was doing exactly what human brains are built to do. The part that handles memory and the part that handles emotion don’t always clock in at the same time.
The “thinking” part of your brain — the prefrontal cortex — can go quiet when you’re overwhelmed or tired. That’s the part that remembers dates, timelines, details, and logic. But the emotional memory system, especially the amygdala and the body’s stress pathways, never really clock out. They remember anniversaries, losses, smells, seasons, routines — all the stuff you don’t consciously track.
So your body reacted first because emotional memory is faster and older than conscious memory. It’s like your heart remembered before your head did. And once the emotional system fires, the physical reaction shows up even if the “story” behind it hasn’t loaded yet.
Nothing is wrong with you. This is exactly how grief works in the brain. And honestly, the fact that you figured out why yesterday hit you so hard just proves you’re paying attention to yourself.
This was a formal consult.... Now I have to send you my consultation fee. LOL. I take cash, credit cards, bitcoins, or a lot of attention. I prefer the latter.
This morning my Frenchie passed away from cancer. I am in a box and don't feel like processing any emotions. Just angry and I am taking it out on the pull up bar. I don't feel like talking to any one here, but this is usually how I feel so that's the same. It's allright. It's fine.
I know how you feel about frenchies but he was with me all the time when I was on house arrest. He used to snore in my lap when I taught myself how to code.
Do I need to get you another drone so you guys can race to prove who is better? LOL Just kidding. If he wins, please don't shoot his drone down. LOL
